Many legal experts no longer share an unbounded trust in the
potential of law to govern society efficiently and responsibly.
They often experience the 'limits of the law', as they are
confronted with striking inadequacies in their legal toolbox, with
inner inconsistencies of the law, with problems of enforcement and
obedience, and with undesired side-effects, and so on.
The contributors to this book engage in the challenging task of
making sense of this experience. Against the background of broader
cultural transformations (such as globalisation, new technologies,
individualism and cultural diversity), they revisit a wide range of
areas of the law and map different types of limits in relation to
some basic functions and characteristics of the law. Additionally,
they offer a set of strategies to manage justifiably law's limits,
such as dedramatising law's limits, conceptual refinement
('constructivism'), striking the right balance between different
functions of the law, seeking for complementarity between law and
other social practices.
